CHELSEA RED stars WHIPPED.
Burleigh and Call Worked Hard and Well
and the Augustus Batted Out a Victory.

The noise of the ''croakers" is sllenced for
time, at least, and we hope forever. The
nine which they have been pronounclng "no
good" has won a game. Won it by playing
good, steady game. The Augustus were
smarting under their defeat at the hands of
the Baths and were determined to win Satur-
days game-and win they did with a good
margin to spare. The Chelseas played good
ball but the Augustus played better. This
fact combined with their inability to bat Bur-
leigh. in few words tells the story of their
defeat. The Augustus were fortunate enough
to secure the services of Mr.. Call of Pitts
field, catcher of the Readf eds, to catch for
them and his work was simply wonderful.
He played the entirs seven innings without a
passed ball or an error of any sort. He
checked all rash base stealers from the start,
mailing four at second with such ease that it
made their heads swim.
J. Brennan was put on third base and he
played good game, considering that it was
new position for him.
Locke at left made one excusable error
y muH OI d HlRn ny 10 euOrt leIt uelu which
it was impossible to get well under, he get
ting it on the tips of his fingers after a hard
run.
Searls of the Chelseas pitched in fine form
but it was evidnt that his arm was weakening
and he changed places with Collins in the
third innings.
Space will not allow detail of the game
except to record several brilliant plays. The
fifth inning was marked by fine double play
made by the Chelseas. j. Brennan in at
tempting to steal home was put out, Collins
to ). Cobb, who threw to W. Cobb in turn to
catch Bureigh at second, and by Berry's
brilliant running catch of high fly to short
right field. Call also distinguished himself
in the tame inning by tagging Morgan at the
plate, by Augusta M rRan's assist, and cutting
off Sesrle st second by fine throw.
In the final inning another double play was
made by the Chelseas. Douglass, after put
ting Call out at third threw to w. Cobb,
mailing Berry. 1.-TWO Dagger" White also
made remarkable catch of high fly to
deep centre field. The following is the tabu-
lated score:

Cd DR. Johnson once said addressing a
class of medical students that the stuiy of
medlcn. was a most arduOus undertak lng;
that the most comprehensive mind and the
most indust rious student could scarcely do
more thar explore the portals to medical
knowledge during the brief time allotted to
study before comm ncing practice, but that
throughout his whole life the responsibilities
If his profession should rest upon him like a
night mare.
He should explore every avenue of natural
knowledge, must become familiar with III m
istry, natural philosophy aui natural history,
but, above all, he must learn the cons ruction
of his own frame, the means BY which he
lives, moves and has his being. He must
understand the nature of all those Influences
by which health is broken down and restored
and by what means disease, suffering and
death may be averted. DR. johnson further
SAYS that nothing contributes so much to the
support of qusckery as the present INSULT
cheney of medical knowledge. Men do not,
he says, easily abandon hope but as readily
put faith in ignorant pretenders as drowning
men catch at strsws.
The good that men do in this life lives
after them" During the life time of old DR..
johnson he invented what is now known a.
DR.. Johnson's Anodyne Liniment, a standard
family remedy of SURPRISING
merit. This iniment is both for in
ternal and external use and it is safe to say
that no single remedy ever discovered has
done so much good as this one. 1t is mex
pensive. ready at moments notice night or
day and may be used with absolute confidence
in the thousand and one ailments that affl let
humanity. In the cure of severe cramps or
pains in the stomach or bowels, dysentery
6iarrhes, acute or chronic, this linment is a
sovereign remedy. In the case of chronic
diarrhea it is certainly worth its weight in
gold. 1t has been known to cure cases from
ten to fifteen years standing after the suffer
ers had been given up.

Dissertation of the View Bar HarbO
''VestibuIe" Train.

1.-THE finest train in the world without any
exception, is what Agent Stockton of the
Pullman company exclaimed enthusiastically
to the crowd that ha gathered at the Boston
& Maine depot to catch something of the
glory of Bar Harbor vestibule train, saws a
Boston paper.
The arrival of the two new cars fresh from
the Pullman works seemed to entirely
iustitv the remark One of the newcomers,
the Annette, departed for the east Wednes
dav morning, aud the other the Adela, is to
90 on t0-day's trip.
Under the piotage of Agent Stockton a
company of newspaper men made an inves
tigating tour of the train from baggage car to
rear platform Most OF the beauties of the
first mentioned were invisible, being hidden
away from the profaue gaze in big double
strapped Saratoga trunks that seemed proof
against the assaults of the most vindictive
baggage handler.
But the dining car could apply to ANYBODY
with digestive apparatus. Eight damask
covered tables, four leather stuffed chairs at
each, brilliant slverware, and a menu that
would do credit to anv city bostelrie--all
these things make it a place to linger in, and

spotless white jackets each embellished with
a fresh boutonniere seem an env;able set of
fellows.
The examining committee pushed on
through the train till they came to the new
car Annette. This was worthy more de-
tailed inspection At this forward end is the
smoking room, an elaborate apartment in
brown plush. with big mirrors of bevelled
cut glass. Besides the stationary seats against
the wall there were deep wicker chairs richly
upholstered with the same material. The
smoking room is finished IN solid mahogany.
The main saloon is cherry, and the chairs
are upholstered in peacock blue velvet, While
the window lsmbrequins are of brown silk
and the drapery curtains an indetinable shade
of pink satin. Here the windows are all IN
clined on an angle, so that the passenger can
see the country through which the train runs
to far greater advantage. Four lamps hight
the saloon, heavily plated with silver and
richly chased.
AT the end on each tide of the aisle are silk
curtains so arranged that little compartments
can be made, and bed furnished in case of
passengers illness.
AT the rear end of the car are the regular
private compartments fitted up in the same
luxurious manner. Here, also, is we'll
selected library, containing a large number
of the standard novels which patrons of the
road who have neglected to provide them
selves with mental food, or, more correctly
speaking, confectionery, may make use Of
This feature is certainly commendaole one
Altogether the whole makeup of the train
is a triumph of the Pullman compauys art,
and the traveller who could ask for more
luxury is a confirmed Sybarite at least

the ilegbility of his own handwriting, says
New York Times correspondent. TWAS at
the time when Major Dunn of the army was
paying attention to the Senator'S daughter.
The young people had come to an under
standing. but Miss Morrill, thought that paps's
consent ought to be obtained before they
proceeded further. Major Dunn wrote a
nice letter to papa" in which he requested
that the future of the young lady might be
contided to his care. Senator Morrill, could
read the signature, but the rest of the letter
was worse than Greek to him. He OWNED
lite contents, however, and at once wrote q
reply, in which the desired consent was
given Dunn took it to his lady love, with
the remark Heres your fathers letter"
What does it say?" eagerly inquired the
lady. II have been trying to find out ever
since l received it," was the answer "but l
can't make nothing out of it," Miss Merrill
Tried to read the note, but she too, failed.
